Bernardo Beefmaster has 50 cull cows that average 1100 lbs and he purchased them for $60/cwt. He fed the cows for 55 days and sold them at 1260 lbs for $65/cwt. The cows averaged about 30 lbs of feed per day, and cost $7/cwt. Calculate the average daily gain, feed efficiency (feed:gain), feed only cost of gain, breakeven per pound and total, and the total margin. WHAT IS THE BREAKEVEN VALUE PER POUND?

A company estimates that the relationship between. unit price and demand per month for a potential new product is approximated by p= $100.00-$0.10D. The company can produce the product by increasing fixed costs $17,500 per month, and the estimated variable cost is $40.00 per unit. What is the demand that maximizes revenue and the maximum revenue? What is the optimal demand, D*, and based on this demand, should the company produce the new product? Why? (Work out the complete solution by differential calculus, starting with the formula for profit or loss per month.)
Cost, revenue, and profit are in dollars and x is the number of units. A firm knows that its marginal cost for a product is MC = 2x + 25, that its marginal revenue is MR = 73 – 6x, and that the cost of production of 80 units is $8,560. (a) Find the optimal level of production. units (b) Find the profit function. P(x) = (c) Find the profit or loss at the optimal level. There is a -Select--- v of $

A publisher for a promising new novel figures fixed costs (overhead, advances, promotion, copy editing, typesetting, and so on) at $64,000, and variable costs (printing, paper, binding, shipping) at $1.80 for each book produced. If the book is sold to distributors for $12 each, how many must be produced and sold for the publisher to break even? The publisher must produce and sell books to break even. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.)
Your product's revenue per unit is $30, and product's cost per unit is $10. If the demand for next month is 200 units, and it costs $1000 one time to set up the machine, what is our profit (in dollars) for next month?
Action No Recycling Recycling (Dollars) 1,800 1,100 (Dollars) 1,500 2,600 Total economic profit is highest when the recycling production method is (Dollars) When the chemical lab uses the recycling method, the water park earns $2,600 – $1,500 = $1,100 more per week than it does with no recycling. Therefore, the water park should be willing to pay up to $1,100 per week for the chemical lab to recycle water. However, the recycling method decreases the chemical lab's economic profit by $1,800 – $1,100 = $700 per week. Therefore, the chemical lab should be willing to use the recycling method if it is compensated with at least $700 per week. Suppose the water park has the property rights to the lake. That is, the water park has the right to a clean (unpolluted) lake. In this case, assuming the two firms can bargain at no cost, the chemical lab will the recycling method and will pay the water park per week. Now, suppose the chemical lab has the property rights to the lake, including the…

A manufacturing company produces ACME Standard Widgets having a fixed cost of $50 and variable cost of $8 per unit. Sales history indicates that the sales price in dollars, P, varies with the demand, D, by the function: P = 200 - 0.1D Determine the following: Optimum demand for the widgets. Maximum profit that can be made. Determine the range of demands for which the company is profitable.
Systems applicationSolve and analyze the following problems. Make sure all the steps are properly justified. Correctly use mathematical notation or terminology. Interpret the solution in the context of the problem.Suppose the supply and demand equations for printed shirts for a graduating class are given byp = 0.7q + 3p = -1.7q +15where p is the price in dollars and q is the quantity in hundreds.Determine supply and demand if the shirts cost $ 9.00. Analyze and discuss the stability of the shirt market at this price level. Prepare the graph of the two equations in the same coordinate system and identify the equilibrium point, the supply curve, and the demand curve.
As manager of the St. Cloud Theatre Company, you have decided that concession sales will support themselves. The following table provides the information you have been able to put together thus far: Item Soft Drink Wine Coffee Candy Selling Price $1.20 $2.00 $1.25 $1.20 Variable Cost $0.60 $0.95 $0.35 $0.25 % of Revenue 26 24 30 20 Last year's manager, Scott Ellis, has advised you to be sure to add 10% of variable cost as a waste allowance for all categories. You estimate labor cost to be $300.00 (5 booths with 2 people each). Even if nothing is sold, your labor cost will be $300.00, so you decide to consider this a fixed cost. Booth rental, which is a contractual cost at $50.00 for each booth per night, is also a fixed cost. a) Based on the information available, the per night break-even point in dollars for the St. Cloud Theatre Company = $ (round your response to two decimal places).
